Generify Repository Name

[rlipperts]

When looking for a Polybar plugin to control music playback in chrome with, I scrolled across this multiple times without opening it. The naming suggests that this only works with Spotify, while your code actually is quite generic.

Wouldn't it be good to change the repository name to something like polybar-playerctl? Furthermore, the names of example modules in the readme (and in the hooks in get_spotify_status.sh) would need to be updated.

Edit: Just noticed you mentioned this in one of your commits. I think you should :)

I'm really sorry that I wasn't able to attend to this issue. I agree that most of the traffic comes from Google searches and just renaming should maintain the traffic. However, I think I'll rename it when I've added a bit more features to the module and post it like a new release.

And hence, please keep opening issues for new features. Currently, I'm a little busy but I assure you I'll get back to this issue soon.

No Problem. We all have limited time for this (sadly)

I have been using a modified version of this repo in such a way that it's not specific to spotify. It assumes playerctld is running.

However, there's a bug to which I haven't been able to figure out a solution:

Steps to reproduce

1. Play player A
2. Play player B (both players will be playing at the same time)
3. Pause player c

Expected behavior

• Play/pause icon should be ⏸️
• Metadata about player A should be displayed

Actual behavior

• Play/pause icon is ▶️
• Metadata about player B is displayed

I tried to fix this by using playerctl's --follow flag but without success. I'm still trying to play with it to find a solution.

@fuadsaud Can you please open a separate issue?

@fuadsaud @PrayagS any update on this? would love to make this module as part of my dotfiles generator once it supports more than spotify 😸
